The politics of gaslighting continues…apace

President ‘radicalizing‘…’using fear’…? Folks, this is gaslighting…on steroids.

Psychology Today: “Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality.” (Sadly, it’s happening every day.)

Example – Democrats and their media masters claim the President is using fear, when he warns that a midterm election win for Democrats will harm our Nation’s economy.

That claim of Trump ‘using fear’ is a CLASSIC form of gaslighting.

Think about it…

…during the Obama-era, America’s economy was stagnant, dangerously weak, and was tanking just before the ’16 election; compare to how the GOP economy booms now.

That truth is inconvenient for Democrats; telling a lie to deflate that truth is defining.

Blatant lying is a major sign of gaslighting. And so is ‘projecting’ (which is exactly what the Democrats do when they USE FEAR by blatantly lying about an opponent).

The same goes for the lie about the President ‘radicalizing’ his support. When calling for controlling borders to protect America’s national security is ‘radical’we’re in trouble.

And how is calling for a lasting economic boom ‘radicalizing’?

Here are the author’s 11 Warning Signs of Gaslighting’:

  • They tell blatant lies;
  • They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof;

A close, objective, honest look at the hype should tell you all you need to know.
